I don't know what the Meade price is but if the Lightswitch was a lot cheaper I might choose it because the Meade ACF optics are better than the Celestron standard SCT, with stars in the outer field looking better in the ACF.
Otherwise I'd choose the Evolution since the tube is easily detached from the mount, making the setup more portable. The internal battery and ability to use an ipad, etc to control the mount are points in favour of the evolution too.
Another alternative is the Celestron Advanced VX; it's a little less portable, more flexible in what it can carry but still quick and easy to align for visual use. Nothing wrong with the single arm mount though, I have an Advanced VX and a CPC mount converted to single arm, both of which I like very much. If portability is a strong priority the Evolution is a good choice.
